Lucy Manley

Lucy Manley’s goal is to capture the landscape and express her emotions through oil painting. By employing a bold use of colour to highlight and heighten the visual impact of each painting – her loose, rapidly executed brushstrokes capture moment-by-moment impressions on the canvas.

“Painting on location offers the opportunity to approach the landscape head-on. It allows me to express my feeling and emotion by interpreting in paint what I see around me. Simply speaking, I paint where I am, looking to find subject matter with strong impact, such as old buildings, things with a bit of character, and then working quickly to record interesting effects of light on my subject before conditions change throughout the day.”
